Why Papel San Francisco continues to invest in the Valmet Advantage ViscoNip press
Oct 26, 2023
Papel San Francisco is a family own tissue producer based in Mexicali, Mexico, producing tissue and towel grades. The collaboration with Valmet started about 20 years ago and recently Papel San Francisco invested in their seventh tissue machine from Valmet. However, this time was worth celebrating a little extra, especially for Valmet since the delivery includes the hundredth Advantage™ ViscoNip® press to be manufactured by Valmet.
The Advantage ViscoNip press is a patented and unique product which has proven to be fundamental to reach various production benefits for tissue makers world-wide.
When Dario Palma y Meza Espinoza, Director of Operations and Enrique Zárate, Mill Manager, last visited Valmet in Sweden we took the opportunity to ask them what role the ViscoNip press plays for their production.
